Supercart plc
("Supercart" or the "Company")
Preliminary announcement of results for the 12 months ended 31 December 2009
Highlights
· Turnover of GBP7,354,000 (2008: GBP4,809,000), up by 53% to last year
· Administrative expenses are up by 34% due largely to increase in North
America operations
· Trolley unit sales are up 40% to 95,205 units (2008: 68,217 units).
· Higher manufacturing costs in North America have resulted in a reduction
of gross profit margin to 11.5% (2008: 18%).
· Net cash balances at 31 December 2009 were GBP501k (2008: GBP1,025k)
· Acquisition of Rehrig assets in March 2009 has transformed the operations
in North America with many major retailers on-board.
Mike Wolfe, Chief Executive, commenting on the results said:
"The investment made in 2009 through the purchase of six new moulds in North
America did not generate the level of sales we had anticipated, due to delays in
fully commissioning these moulds. However, since the start of 2010 Supercart
has generated a significantly higher level sales activity with new and existing
clients including Target, Toys R Us and several other national US retail chains.
The Company has, for the first time in its history, a full range of products
available in each of our major markets which, since the start of the year,
enables us to now compete directly and effectively with our major competitors.
The progress we have made in the first five months of the year has given the
Company strong momentum for the remainder of 2010."

Preliminary announcement of results for the 12 months ended 31 December 2009
Chairman's Statement
I am pleased to present our results for 2009. This has been a year of
significant change in our most important North American market, in which sales
have increased to GBP3.3 million compared to just GBP180,000 in the previous
year and now represent almost half of total group sales. South Africa produced
another solid performance in 2009.
On 20 March 2009, we announced the purchase of six trolley and two hand basket
moulds from the liquidator of Rehrig International Corp. (Rehrig), who had
previously been the largest manufacturer of plastic/metal hybrid trolleys in
North America. As a result we achieved a significant increase in unit sales,
although less than we had originally projected. Short term manufacturing costs
in 2009 were significantly higher than we had estimated with the resulting
reduction in our margins in the final quarter of 2009. Additional salary and
administrative costs resulted from the integration of the North American
business, although these have been reduced significantly for 2010.
In Europe, we did not achieve the breakthrough for which we had hoped during the
year. However, as we announced on 17 December 2009, we now have a joint project
with the French company Caddie which produced its first sales just before the
year end.
Results
For the year ended 31 December 2009, Supercart generated a 53% increase in
turnover to GBP7,354,000 (2008 - GBP4,809,000) as a result of the growth of the
US business. However, as indicated above, significantly higher short term
manufacturing costs in North America, as the Company geared up its US operations
reduced our gross profit margin to 11.5% (2008 - 17.9%) which together with a
number of non-recurring costs of establishing the new Rehrig business, resulted
in an increased loss for the year in North America.

+------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+
Administrative expenses increased to GBP2,820,000 (2008 - GBP2,098,000) due to
the integration costs in North America and non-recurring restructuring costs of
approximately GBP150,000, and an increase in staff numbers and other
administrative expenses, resulting in a loss after tax of GBP2,175,000 (2008 -
GBP1,207,000). The board identified a number of cost savings in North America
and Europe which have now been implemented and which are expected to result in
annualised cost savings of GBP700,000.
The loss per share was 3.92p (2008 - loss of 2.76p).
Net cash balances at the year-end were GBP501,000 (2008 - GBP1,025,000).
As a result of the on-going losses the board anticipates that the auditors'
report will emphasise that the Company has prepared internal trading forecasts,
projected cash flows and other relevant information, which indicate (based upon
a continuing improvement in forecast sales during the second half of 2010) that
the Company will have a short term cash requirement over the coming months, and
that the directors are currently considering a number of alternatives including
further equity or debt funding arrangements. Whilst the directors are confident
that additional funding will be obtained, and that the improvement in forecast
sales will be met, they have concluded that the combination of the above
circumstances represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, based
upon the director's expectations that additional funding will be successfully
obtained, in addition to achieving the Company's current trading forecasts, the
directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The directors are not recommending the payment of a dividend in respect of the
year ended 31 December 2009.
North America
As noted above, 2009 has seen a significant increase in sales resulting from the
success in acquiring previous Rehrig customers throughout 2009. This has
included major orders from national chains such as Target and Toys R Us.
Nevertheless, as we said in our trading update issued on 17 December 2009, final
unit sales were not at the level that management originally expected, with the
inevitable impact on margins.
Additionally, we took the decision to move our sales and administrative office
from Richmond, Virginia to Detroit, Michigan to be close to our manufacturing
operation which we believe will greatly improve our production efficiency in the
future.
South Africa
Despite the fact that sales in South Africa were 9% down on the same period in
2008, we have continued to maintain our market share and margin in the face of
stiff competition from metal manufacturers and the economic downturn which also
impacted the South African market.
Europe
As already reported in the trading update of 17 December 2009, we restructured
our European operations in 2009. The cost of this restructuring, including staff
redundancies, was approximately GBP50,000. Over the past five years, we have had
a distribution agreement with Caddie, the French metal trolley manufacturer.
Until recently this produced no significant business, but following a change of
senior management at Caddie, we have strengthened our alliance and Caddie are
now actively marketing our joint plastic/metal hybrid trolleys to their customer
base. This has already produced positive results and we anticipate further
growth resulting from this important strategic alliance.
Australia
This is an unusual market dominated by only two major retailers. We have
continued to market our Australian made product to them against an all metal
imported trolley from the Far East. Progress is slow and we continue to monitor
this situation.
Outlook
The acquisition of the moulds from Rehrig has completely transformed our
operations and prospects in North America. Although sales in 2009 were less than
we had anticipated, they still represent a sea change. We have generated orders
from a number of major retailers and our North American business is now on a
growth path. We are confident that we will build on last year's increase in
sales and, although the second six months are traditionally the more significant
in terms of sales, we have already seen some good orders so far in 2010. Our
businesses in both North America and Europe now look to be entering a most
promising phase.
